úttengeri

Úttengeri is an Icelandic noun that does not appear in standard dictionaries as a common term. In technical usage it can be encountered as a compound formed from út- meaning “out” or “external” and tengi meaning “connector” or “port,” with the agent-noun suffix -ri. Because of this formation, úttengeri is typically interpreted as referring to an output connector, port, or a device that provides an external connection. However, there is no universally accepted or widely documented definition, and the term primarily shows up in specialized manuals, schematics, or product documentation rather than in everyday language.

In practice, when úttengeri is encountered, its sense is usually linked to the realm of electronics or computing, where it may denote an output interface or the entity associated with an output connection. This contrasts with related terms for input connections, such as innengi, illustrating a general pattern in Icelandic technical vocabulary of pairing út- with tengi to denote ports or interfaces.

Because úttengeri is uncommon and not standardized, some usages may reflect authorial or domain-specific terminology, or even a misread of a more common term. When encountering the word, the intended meaning is best inferred from context, especially from surrounding descriptions of hardware, cables, or connection points. If a particular text uses úttengeri, consulting the original source or glossary can clarify whether it refers to an output port, the attaching device, or a broader porting context.
